Dorset

We've been to Dorset for a couple of weeks. The place we stayed was up in the hills and we saw birds of prey like the one above just sitting on telephone poles by the side of the road.

We found lots of fossils like this ammonite at Charmouth Beach.

And had a little visitor in the garden every day, a hedgehog, ahhh! At night there were loads of bats swooping down (I think I saw the teeth of one it came so close) and the owls hooting.

I wasn't quite quick enough to get a good shot of the birds of prey that we saw every day but trust me they were amazing. The village was called Powerstock they had a great pub there but no shop or phone signal, just the old church. Makes you realise how you get used to having so much on your doorstep.

This is the one track lane was like to get there. It went on like this for miles. Nice to escape from the world for a week or two.
